I love spending time with friends and trying out new restaurants, cafes, and activities. I’m also a huge wine lover, so being so close to Napa/Sonoma is a big plus!

As I was a UC Berkeley student (Double Bear!), I think it’s super important to assist students with financial aid and support them in their journey throughout higher education.
